Monty by Jim Meddick for January 12, 2012

How about a simple handful of drowned worms…

OK, but as long as it is pink.

can you drown worms? only time I see them is when its wet

Spamster, that’s because they came out of the soaked ground to keep from drowning.

Right, Monty. If you can’t make a panda with a lollipop, snow the kid with scientific jargon masking your ineptitude!

Forming a balloon into a long, straight cone would be a notable achievement.

Yes!!

I like his ’We’ll see what we can do!’ response in panel 1…does one become a split personality when clowning around? Are the balloons turning into his friends? Or maybe enemies in this case…?

The only worms I like come in bottles of Mezcal.

Aw, jeeze, do we really need three panels of Monty’s butt?

Hey, Monty, can you make one that looks like a balloon?

Monty is inept with a genius IQ. Unlike my soninlaw who is just inept.

Geeky doesn’t mean genius by default. I have yet to find evidence Monty has an IQ in the genius level, and he’s inept socially which is his main problem.

This is what happens when an intelligent man has a simple job.

Yes, worms can drown. I do that every summer on my favourite lakes. Yes, I’m female, I fish, I bait my own hooks and (hang onto your chairs) I clean fish.

Make a turtle out of one balloon, Monty!

Just make sure there are the right number of pseudopods on that cephalopod. For that matter…. do cephalopods have pseudopods?

You gotta give Monty credit for being brave enough to try, even when he is basically clueless.
